We like to be in control of our life situations but sometimes how much ever we try to control we are not able to and we feel frustrated when we see that things are not happening the way we want them to happen. Our Ego is very big and it always stops us from letting things get out of our control. But when we learn to surrender to the situation at some point we realize that there is some higher purpose behind it.
When things do not happen our way we feel dejected but many a times it is for our best which we may not see at that point of time.

I always like to make these reflections when I see that the situation is going out of my control or that the outcome is not what I want or just that things are not going my way. Little things of life hold us back with our ego. Like yesterday morning I had to leave for out of town for some work. I planned to leave at 9, but my friend who was to come and pick me up got late and I started getting angry. Then later I realized that I over reacted and unnecessarily created a rift. It was ok if I left an hour late, it was no big deal. But at that moment my ego took over me and I messed up the situation further.

Personally I feel when we surrender to situations we even ease out our anxiety which in turn helps reduce our stress. When we surrender we feel at ease and we feel peaceful with our selves. In the moment we may not realize but sometimes some things happen for our own good. I have read many real life stories of how people have been late for their work or for their travels and missed their flights and saved themselves from some mishap. I am sure in that moment it must be nerve wrecking but later one must have realized that it was like such a big blessing that came through.

Not only about that, but yes we do get hyper when we have some thing to do and if that does not happen. Surrender does not mean giving up. It is more about understanding that particular situation and making harmony with it and allow yourself to flow with the course of action and time.

I normally like to flow with life and not be in much control of situations but there are times when I get restless, specially when it comes to time management. Now these are 2 different things to argue on. Being late and not managing time and things happening by itself which makes you lose control over time. When I say surrender I mean it for the second instance, where you are trying your best and still it's not happening your way. Surrender teaches us many things, and one of them is increasing our ability of having patience. Surrendering can be in many areas of life.

But there are times when it can be taken negatively also. Like if you have a difference of opinion with some one and you choose not to argue and stay quiet. Well the opposite person may think you have surrendered to them, but that's not the case, you just do not feel a need to prove your point and hence you stay quiet. Some people think if you surrender it is a sign of weakness because you do not have the will power to go ahead. So again this can be taken in a positive as well as negative manner.

Anyways I feel that sometimes it is best to make peace with your situation and not go against the flow, else that could be a bigger trouble.
